The Last of the Pioneer - Keith Earnest Andersen

­This story is unusual but true - as told by those who lived overlapping lives with those who were eyewitnesses. ­The story is about the lives of four generations of ancestors beginning in old Europe and then coming to America in the 1800’s with a wave of other immigrants. ­They moved westward, lured by the promise of homesteads. ­They became the last of the pioneers as they reached the wilderness frontiers of Canada and the far West. ­They were held back by the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression but escaped to something better in California.
